(NEWSER) – More controversy for Abercrombie & Fitch: A Muslim stockroom worker fired for wearing a headscarf has won her anti-discrimination case against the clothing chain, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. A federal judge ruled the chain violated the religious rights of the woman and there was no "credible evidence" to back up its claim that the woman cost the company sales by deviating from its "Look" policy, which requires workers to dress in a "natural, classic American style."
